Sam Smith Channels Beyonce And Whitney In His ‘Restart’ Video

On his debut album, In The Lonely Hour, Sam Smith spun heartbreak into chart-topping gold. If anyone’s got a reason to celebrate, it’s probably him, so can you blame him for doing exactly that on “Restart”?

“The truth is I’m better on my own, and I don’t wanna live in the past,” Sam sings, later concluding that “you’re the one who looks like a fool.” Way harsh, Tai.

The Michael Holyk-directed clip follows that celebratory vibe, showing us what life on the road with Sam Smith is really like. Think lots of laughs, lots of pints and luh-huh-huh-lots of sing-alongs of Beyoncé’s “***Flawless,” and you’ve got the general idea.

Oh yeah, there’s also this one particularly terrifying umbrella. Sidenote: I relate to this screengrab so hard, you guys.
